What is Oware?

See Oware for information about the game.

Why Oware for the XO?

It's a two-player game, thus encouraging pair work rather than isolation. Oware is popular in many developing countries, including some where the XO is being deployed. The game's rules are simple to learn, and there would be little text to localize.

Code

See free awale for an open-source implementation that might be adapted for the XO. The latter allows playing against a computer. Does it support two-human mode?
